YOUR WEEKEND: Plan ahead for Valentine's Day

Your Town is written by the editorial staff of the View Neighborhood Newspapers. The View produces 12 editions every Tuesday, each one distributed in a different region of the Las Vegas Valley. This blog complements and enhances the community news coverage in the View’s print editions.

Valentine’s Day is right smack in front of us and many have yet to solidify plans. Usually, I am an advocate of sitting back and rolling with the punches, but when it comes to grabbing a meal on one of the most popular days to dine out, I suggest you plan ahead.

If you find you’re too late to land dinner reservations, consider going out for a late lunch. After all, it is the first Valentine’s Day to fall on a Saturday in seven years – take advantage of it. If you do a Valentine’s Day lunch, then you can plan something romantic in the evening, such as drinks and dessert, a show or a relaxing stroll (preferably in a safe neighborhood).

If your heart is set on taking your loved one to dinner, there are several restaurants around town with special menus to celebrate the day of love. Some have even included aphrodisiac ingredients to inspire romance.

Please feel free to share any other meal deals in the comment section below.

Orgin India, at 4480 Paradise Road, will offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian courses that include aphrodisiac ingredients, such as eggplant caviar, lamb loin, and truffle oil. For reservations, call 734-6342.
